Yeah, there's a few places you can get out to the desert. The closest rural desert park is a place called Wadi al-Hitan (Vally of the whales because there are lots of fossils from when the desert was an ocean floor).
There are many tour companies that take you out to the White Desert in Farafra for some crazy rock formations.
If you have more time go to Siwa to see a real oasis city.
The train can take you down to Luxor for the Valley of the Kings and such.
You can spend as much or as little as you want here. If you are very price conscious get a flight from kiwi.com, uber to get around, there are some cheap hotels downtown, or airbnb, or couch-surfing.

Wish I could show you around.
